Tu Shan Lingxi had no idea that her disappearance was attributed to the affairs of the southern tribes by some ministers, which led to Yin Changling personally leading an expedition.
However, even if they knew, they would only sympathize with the enemy for a second or two, and that would be it.
Meanwhile, the little fox had successfully found Yi Changfeng; perhaps it was because the fox's nose was exceptionally sensitive.
As soon as she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she caught a whiff of Yi Changfeng's scent and skipped over to find him, intending to bring him back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.
"Aww~"
The little fox had long, snow-white fur that was glossy and shiny, and its bright black eyes looked exceptionally bright; it was clear that it had been well cared for.
The people had never seen such an endearing little fox before, and they all stared wide-eyed with curiosity.
They only dared to look at the little fox from afar. It looked like it had been carefully raised by some wealthy family, but they couldn't touch it or get involved in it.
Yi Changfeng was overjoyed. His robes had become very dirty and disheveled, and he even had stubble on his face, looking haggard.
He looked in the direction of the sound, and there it was—Xi'er!
Yi Changfeng finally saw the little fox he had been longing for. He didn't dare to go far and only dared to look for her in this town.
He lingered at the most conspicuous intersection almost every day, hoping that the little fox would come back and see him.
Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Yi Changfeng hardly recognizes it anymore.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, is that you?"
"Awoo~"
The little fox glared at him haughtily. Could there be another little fox as beautiful as her in the world? He really didn't know how to talk.
Having already met the person, the little fox turned back, turning back as she went to signal Yi Changfeng to follow.
"good."
Yi Changfeng understood Tu Shan Lingxi's instructions. He paused for a moment, then quickly took a few steps and picked her up in his arms.
This time, the little fox didn't use teleportation. She felt the warm yet unfamiliar embrace, her big tail swaying back and forth.
A human and a fox walked away together, their shadows stretched long and long in the setting sun...
...
The Imperial Preceptor's Residence.
After half a month, the Grand Preceptor finally emerged from seclusion. He had a handsome face, striking features, and flowing white hair, making him an unparalleled gentleman.
His complexion was rosy, his breathing was steady, and his spiritual energy was abundant, indicating that he had recovered.
As soon as the Grand Preceptor emerged from seclusion, he began searching for the little fox. He had assumed she would be waiting for him obediently at the gate, but she wasn't.
Wan Qijin was slightly disappointed, but his desire to see Tu Shan Lingxi prevailed. He roughly calculated the little fox's location, and in a flash, he went to the Spirit Spring.
Upon arriving at the Spirit Spring, the first thing that catches the eye is a little fox soaking in the pool. She is a small white ball of fluff floating in the water, just like a cloud, reflected in the water.
The little fox was sleeping soundly, its white fur already wet from the water, but its fluffy little head was dry and still round and cute.
Wan Qijin's expression softened. He stretched out his slender fingers, ruffled the little fox's fur, and gently patted her head.
No matter how many times I patted her, I couldn't wake her up.
Whether she was still half asleep or had actually passed out, Wan Qijin felt a pang of anxiety and quickly went to check on her.
"Xi'er, Xi'er, wake up?"
"Hmm~"
The little fox was still trapped. She stretched out her little paws, trying to slap away Wan Qijin's mischievous hands, but instead, her ankle was grabbed instead.
Wan Qijin, in a playful mood, tried to pull the person out by holding the little fox's paw, but the moment she felt the pulse, she froze instantly.
After checking her pulse, Wan Qijin initially breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out she had just fallen asleep.
After a while—
Wait a minute, Wan Qijin suddenly tensed up, his brows furrowing. He seemed to have sensed a strange pulse.
!
The Imperial Preceptor was actually half right, because Tu Shan Lingxi had indeed fallen asleep.
For some reason, the little fox has become increasingly sleepy lately, especially enjoying sleeping while soaking in the spiritual spring.
To prevent her from sinking, Yi Changfeng specially sewed a cotton chair for her to sit on so she wouldn't sink.
The little fox loved it. With this recliner, she slept even more soundly, and she didn't wake up even when the Grand Preceptor came out of seclusion.
What Tu Shan Lingxi didn't know was that while she was fast asleep, wisps of dragon energy from the spiritual spring surged towards her, affectionately protecting her lower abdomen.
"Her pulse is smooth and like several beads, as if she has several pulses. Is Xi'er pregnant?"
Wan Qijin was instantly overwhelmed by this huge surprise, but he was still not so sure, after all, the pulse of a fox and a human are very different.
With a flick of his sleeve, Tu Shan Ling Xi transformed into human form without anyone noticing.
This time, when Wan Qijin went to take her pulse again, her expression changed, and her purple eyes deepened slightly.
It wasn't for any other reason than that the little fox seemed to be pregnant with twins, but her situation was special; the twins seemed to be at different stages of pregnancy.
Although the days were not far apart, Wan Qijin was still able to tell the difference, because the pulses of the twins were very different.
What does this mean...?
Wan Qijin refused to believe it, thinking that it must be because his medical skills were not good enough and he had misread the pulse.
He began taking pulses again. This time, he tried to calm himself down, hold his breath, and repeat the action of taking pulses over and over again.
Same, still the same—
Wan Qijin's heart began to pound. His mouth went dry from nervousness. Something seemed to flash through his mind, but he denied it one by one.
He tried his best to reassure himself, thinking that maybe he was just overthinking things.
The little fox is so well-behaved, she must be carrying her own little foxes. It's just that because of Xi'er's special constitution, the twins were born at different times.
That must be it!
Even at this point, the Imperial Advisor refused to believe that his little fox might be having an affair with another wild man.
He had clenched his fists, his eyes were full of suppressed emotions, and the veins on his forehead began to throb, as if he had suppressed his emotions to the extreme.
"hiss--"
Tu Shan Lingxi's arm was still firmly held in his hand. In a moment of excitement, Wan Qijin actually pinched her awake.
The little fox was a little annoyed. She was sleeping soundly, so why did someone have to disturb her? Humph, she'll whip this person with her big tail!
"Who is it? Who dares to disturb my rest!"
Almost as soon as Tu Shan Lingxi spoke, Wan Qijin's expression returned to normal, as if he could change his expression at will, and he completely suppressed his emotions.
His purple eyes still gleamed faintly when Wan Qijin spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.
"You're awake."
"The Imperial Advisor has emerged from seclusion?"
Tu Shan Lingxi suddenly heard a voice. She turned her head and looked at the person who came. Her eyes widened in surprise.
Hearing the genuine joy in the little fox's voice, Wan Qijin's heart, which had been clenched with worry, finally felt a little better, and she managed to force a smile.
"Yes, I have emerged from seclusion."
